Summary/Abstract: The Sacrament of Penance and Reconciliation is the continuation of the saving power of the Paschal Mystery of Christ as a great work of reconciliation of man with God, with other people, with himself and with the whole created world. It unites in this way what has been separated by human sin, committed at the instigation of the devil. The forgiveness and grace received from God in this sacrament allows to overcome the disruption and divisions that are the hallmark of the evil spirit and to participate in the victory of Christ over sin, death and Satan. The very structure of confession allows to discover the antidemonic dimension of this sacrament and the true freedom of God’s children in Christ.
